AI Coach · Range interpretation

How to interpret this SB range

This SB first-in preset raises a broad spread of suited holdings and selected offsuit hands, while its lowest suited fringe contains clear mixed raise/fold decisions.

The grid keeps all suited aces in the raising side, with A2s–A6s shown as near-raises with small calls. It also separates nearby suited fringes sharply: J3s is raise-heavy, while T4s is almost entirely folded.

01

Suited ace block

A2s–A6s each mix a near-raise with a small call component, while A7s–ATs are pure raises in the grid.

02

Low suited king and queen coverage

K2s–K9s and Q2s–Q9s are all on the raise side, though several are displayed as small-call mixes rather than pure raises.

03

Suited fringe contrast

74s and 53s are raise/fold mixes, unlike 76s, 65s, and 54s, which are pure raises; T4s instead has no raise.

Drill three suited columns—aces, kings/queens, then low connectors—and recite the contrast 76s/65s/54s, 74s/53s, T4s.
